Mouldings & Finishes
15 x 32mm flat Tulipwood chevrons painted in Farrow & Ball colours. The bottom one is a 10 x 32mm Tray Frame sample painted using white earth pigment paint.
We specialise in natural wood moulding and carry profiles in oak, ash, cherry, poplar, beech, maple, obeche and Pine in a range of profiles. We can also customise moulding in the studio - we often do this for our bespoke tray frames. Please note that we do not do spray painted finishes. Sprayed wood frames, as opposed to welded metal, have a tendency over time to crack along the mitre joint and can only be repaired by re-spraying. This is costly and time consuming, in contrast cracks and scuffs are easy to repair with hand painted frames. |

Painting frames for two antique Dutch tiles
Poplar, obeche and pine are excellent for staining or painting. For our coloured painted frames we often use the range by Farrow & Ball. For solid white frames we favour the earth pigment paint made by Colourman which has a gesso like surface.
For a translucent white we stain maple, poplar or ash in white and then finish with Lime wax. |
We also carry a select range of pre-finished moulding, this example is a 14 x 13mm profile in matt black. This is perfect for those who do not require a hand finished frame.
